I was quite sceptical to try this Salted Egg cookie recipe with an addition of curry leaves but I was surprisingly pleased with the end product. It is indeed difficult to describe the taste of these cookies except that they do have an appetising flavour. But one thing for sure, the sweet smell of salted egg and curry leaves will linger in your kitchen for quite a while. Check it out here for a simple and easy Salted Egg cookie recipe.
